Can Young People Save Democracy?

Description

Across the U.S., and the world, young people appear frustrated with a political process that does not seem to value them or their interests. Can young people use their voices to advocate for a more just, representative democracy? Or is the system too far gone for saving?

This panel will consist of young advocates from the Baltimore area and Kenya who will explore why young people are frustrated with the status quo but determined to push for a better democracy. In advance of the U.S. election, the panelists will explore how young people can get involved not only in elections but in everyday political actions.

Ekiben will be served for lunch.

This event is co-sponsored by the SNF Agora Institute and Hopkins Votes.
